Last year was a turning point for Petra Vlhová (30). Both her career and private life were shaken to their foundations. In January, she fell and tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her knee during 1st rounds of the giant slalom of the home World Cup in Jasná. In November, she announced the breakup with her longtime partner Michal Kyselic (32) on the social network.
Vlhová and Kyselica broke up after 5 years of relationship. “This decision was very difficult for us and we continue to stay in touch, but only as best friends who have been through a lot together. To avoid speculation, there is no third party behind this decision. We will not comment further on this. Thank you,” they wrote in a joint statement on Instagram.
Coping with the difficult situation was difficult for Petra, so she sought the help of an expert. She spoke several times about the therapies that helped her cope with her suffering and also find herself. She also opened up to presenter Adele Vinczeová in the show Trochu inak with Adela.
“My life was about being on that hill all my life and knowing only skis. And the injury came, where a person is suddenly left alone at home and now he actually says to himself, so what. You know nothing else, you have nothing else and in addition, some relationship will fall apart, and the personal life that somehow held you, suddenly you have nothing“, she described the bitter turn in her life.
“For me, the knee was a big wound, plus my personal life was added to it, and it was all at once and it still is. I need to work with it and I need to find myself, almost. Because I think that whoever finds himself, in my opinion, has won in life. Because she doesn’t need anyone else,” she added strong words at the end.
While our top skier focused on getting to know himself and returning to the slopes, Michal moved on and found a new love. In April, it was revealed that his heart was to be won by a beauty named Petra. They had been dating for several weeks by the time the secret broke. According to the information of the portal, she is a brunette a good friend of Lucie Kačurová, former partner of Ivan Kmotrík Jr.
Michal guards his privacy and shares a minimum on social networks. He even detoxed from Instagram for six months. “It’s time to start living only a real life, with real values and not wasting the best hours of life by impressing other people,” he explained. He is back after a long break and last weekend he even shared his first love photo. You can find the shot in the PHOTO gallery.
